I just upgraded a laptop from FreeBSD 4.4 to 4.6 using the Upgrade 
function in sysinstall (ftp option).  The upgrade seemed to go without a 
hitch (except that the ftp session bombed overnight and I had to restart 
it ... which worked). 

At conclusion, the message said something like installation successful, 
/etc recovered, time to reboot.

I issued  'shutdown now -r'.  The screen froze partway out of X so I 
killed the volts and turned the machine back on.

I now get:
can't load 'kernel'
can't load 'kernel.old'
no bootable kernel
ok

which is clearly not OK. 

1.  What happened?
2.  How do I fix?
